Lost army veteran finally back home

YUECHI, Sichuan: Liu Zhaohui, 88, has never had so many visitors.

Ever since the army veteran, who was stuck in Myanmar for 67 years, returned to his village Taojiago in Sichuan province's Yuechi county last Tuesday, there has been a queue of villagers outside his house eager to meet "the man who finally came back".

"I've been away from the village for 72 years, 67 of which I've spent in Myanmar," Liu almost shouts out. "I obviously appear to be a foreigner among the villagers here."
